Tom Brady Named Super Bowl XLIX MVP

Tom was terrific. There isn’t much else to say.

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady won both his fourth Super Bowl along with another Super Bowl MVP award. Brady completed 37-50 passes for 328 yards, four scores and two picks.

On the Patriots’ go-ahead drive, it was a showcase of some classic Tom Brady as he marched through the Legion of Boom on a 10-play, 64 yard drive.

Now the majority of Brady’s yards did come after the catch due to some brilliant work from Rob Gronkowski, Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola. However, Brady came in and executed the game plan, which was hitting wide receivers underneath on crossing patterns.

Either way, Brady still completed nearly 80 percent of his passes against a defense that some people consider one of the greatest of all time.

While Brady did win the MVP, and was well-deserved, I think Julian Edelman was just as deserving. He devastated Tharold Simon in the red zone for the go-ahead touchdown and converted a few critical third downs. Minitron was absolutely fantastic.

Also Malcolm Butler, who sealed the victory with an incredible interception after Russell Wilson tried to force the ball into a tight window, could also have been the MVP. He had three tackles, three passes defended and the interception.

Either way, the greatness of Tom Brady was on full display. Although Seattle fans can moan about how Marshawn Lynch should have gotten the ball at the one-yard line, Tom Brady won it for the Patriots at the end of the game.

Congrats Tom, you deserve it.
